A number of high-profile Standardbreds made solid strides toward a return to the races during the Saturday (April 24) session of qualifiers at The Meadowlands.
Calle Palema (Ake Svanstedt) was a wire-to-wire winner in 1:56.1 over 2020 freshman standouts Zenith Stride (Brian Sears) and In Range (Tim Tetrick). The gelded son of Muscle Hill - Fillyanthropy, a three-time winner as a rookie, took a new lifetime mark for owner Bender Sweden Inc. of Vero Beach, Fl.
Balenciaga didn t make any starts at two, but the $270,000 yearling started on the path to justifying that price tag with a first-over grinding win in 1:56.3. The son of Chapter Seven - Iluvmyjimmychoos was guided to victory by Scott Zeron for trainer Paul Kelley and owners SRF Stable and Crawford Farms. Maverick, harness racing s highest priced yearling by virtue of his $1.1 million sale price, made a break in stride while closing in the stretch.

Levitt was the eyes and ears for exports
In 1995, exports were an afterthought for the U.S. dairy industry. That’s when Dairy Management Inc. created and funded the U.S. Dairy Export Council (USDEC) to change that.
Skeptics were aplenty back then. The industry needed someone who could explain exports factually, clearly, and concisely without hype.
The job was more than communications. It required analysis of complex factors, such as global milk production, consumer demand, competitive dynamics, foreign trade regulations, currency exchange rates, and geopolitical developments.
Alan Levitt emerged to tell the U.S. export growth story for decades with a commanding grasp of dairy trade data and statistics.
